Walt Disney VS SCOP

CCauthers · Apr 19, 2020

Just a question to those more experienced than me, how much different are the SCOP and Walt Disney when fully colored up? Thanks!

IMO, WD might have some pink color near its polyps skeleton, and polyps are much brighter than OP.
OP might basically just green, and polyps are a little bit dark then WD.

I see you share my greatest pet peeve.

First one, RRC OP and second WD

SCOP blows away WD IMO. Especially if you don’t run your tank very blue. WD isn’t impressive at all to me under whiter lights.

They are not even close to being on the same level. Sexy Corals Orange Passion is one of the best multi-colored tenuis corals to come out in the last decade. Walt Disney is a trick-light artist that some people do not even want anymore now that they cannot farm them for good money. Chunky SC OP frags around here still go for $100+ holding steady and WD are around $40-50 and going down.

There are a lot of tenuis that look very similar, but these two are not among them. If you have a mind for both, then get them both.

Someone needs to let the sellers in the marketplace know...

The two picture is sps in my tank. OP is better with T5 but under blue led only the WD is equal of the OP

Thats for sure, I've seen them going for 200+

jda · Apr 20, 2020

You have seen people ask 200 for them. I was at a frag swap in Anaheim last year and they were going for $40.

While I agree that the SC OP is the nicer of the two and is one of the nicest Tenuis out there, the WD can be spectacular under daylight settings too if it is given the proper husbandry. I'v grown WD's from frags under MH, T5 and LED and combos of the above, and I have always been very happy with them. That being said, I've had the best results under LED/T5 combo. Here's one of my WD's under daylight setting Radion and T-5's

The only people paying $200 for a WD now are likely newer to SPS people that are getting taken advantage of.

If space is limited in your tank and you can only fit one go for SCOP. I actually like SCOP much better than Homewrecker too.
